Definitions

  • This invention is for improvements in or relating to knitted footwear and has for one of its objects to facilitate the production of a well shaped toe end in a hose formed from a tubular knitted blank. Another object is to provide a hose having a toe end portion of neat and pleasing appearance.
  • the formation of the requisite shaping of the toe portion presents certain problems tending to hamper the accurate formation of a correct shape which can be retained more or less permanently, without tendency for weakening the fabric.
  • the formation of the shape by closing the tube by seaming or linking and subsequently stretching the toe end tends to produce a very undesirable bulkiness beneath the toe towards the ball of the foot.
  • the invention seeks to provide a procedure and article in which this and other difficulties are partly or wholly avoided in a simple and convenient manner.
  • a method of producing an article of hose which comprises the steps of knitting a hose blank in tubular form, with the part of the blank to form the toe end part knitted rotationally at least partly from thermoplastic yarn, and forming at a portion of the blank which is to be held in the region of the toe end of the foot bottom an area of fabric having a knitted structure in which parts of courses of loops have been knitted closer together than in neighbouring parts of the fabric so as to shorten the length of the fabric Wale-wise in that region, closing the toe end of the blank by a join line extending from one to the other of the top and bottom lines of the foot, shaping the toe end by drawing the closed end of the fabric on to a board and stretching it to the shape of the board, and setting the fabric in the shape dictated by the board.
  • This procedure not only enables hose to be formed with substantial absence of bagginess under the forward end of the foot but also facilitates the uniform production of hose to required length dimensions with uniform toe shaping.
  • the shortening of the fabric in the said area as just referred to causes the tubular fabric blank on leaving the knitting machine to be distorted so that its terminal course lines are caused to be diverted at one part of the width of the tube towards the portion used to form the under part of the foot.
  • This provides for initial shaping such that the blank can be closed by linking or seaming along a course line with the join line initially diverted towards the under part of the foot.
  • the amount of surplus fabric at that location to be disposed of in the final shaping of the foot is consequently reduced.
  • the Wale-wise shortening of the fabric in the said area of the foot bottom is effected by the incorporation of tuck stitches.
  • the concentration of the tuck stitches of the fabric in said area is caused to be such as to provide the required degree of shortening along the wales and gives the fabric the desirable prop erty of increased capability of being stretched widthwise.
  • the tuck stitch structure in the said area is caused to have a greater concentration of tuck stitches than is the fabric at neighbouring parts of the fabric.
  • the join line forming the toe end closure is conveniently positioned forwardly of the area of fabric which is shortened length-wise of the wales. This enables the shortened fabric structure to tend to cause the bottom end of the join line to be pulled under the foot thereby assisting in avoidance of undesirable bulkiness under the toe towards the ball of the foot.
  • the part of the blank which is to form the toeward end of the foot may be knitted with reinforcement extending from a complete course line towards the toe end and the join line may be formed within such reinforced area.
  • the improved method may include the step of forming the heel part by knitting it at least substantially wholly by rotation in one direction from thermoplastic yarn with incorporation of tuck stitches spread throughout the heel part and so formed as to cause the heel part to be more readily capable of widthwise stretch than the instep part of the fabric, the shaping of theheel part being obtainedat least partly by stretching it widthwise on the board and setting it to the shape thereof.
  • the fabric blank may be knitted with incorporation of an area extending along the foot bottom from the heel part to the region under the toe end which has its courses drawn closer together lengthwise of the wales to shorten it in relation to the neighbouring parts of the fabric.
  • the invention further comprises a knitted article of hose produced from a tubular knitted blank and having the toeward end part of the foot incorporating thermoplastic yarn and closed by a join line extending from oneto the other of the top and bottom lines of the foot and having an under toe area behind the join line wherein parts of courses of knitted loops are knitted closer together than in neighbouring parts of the tube, the toe end of the foot being shaped at least partly by distortion of the fabric to the shape of the board and being set to the shape of the board.
  • the under toe area is conveniently shortened longitudinally of the wales as compared with neighbouring parts of the fabric by the incorporation of tuck stitches in said area.
  • the toe end part of the hose may have reinforcement extending to the toe tip from a complete course line which runs from above the toe end downwardly and rearwardly on each side to a position under the foot.
  • the hose has its heel part knitted at least substantially wholly by continuous rotary knitting with incorporation of thermoplastic yarn and with tuck stitches in greater concentration than are present in the instep part opposite the heel, the heel part being shaped at least partly by being stretched widthwise to pouch form and set in such shape.
  • FIGURE 1 is a laid-out view of the foot and ankle portions of a ladies stocking shown in position on a board which is partly broken away,
  • FIGURE 2 is a view on a smaller scale of a portion of a laid-out tubular fabric blank from which the stocking foot in FIG. 1 is formed,
  • FIGURE 3 is a view of the portion of the fabric blank as seen from another direction
  • FIGURE 4 is a view corresponding to FIG. 1 but illustrating a different form of construction
  • FIGURE is a view on a smaller scale of a laid-out portion of a tubular fabric blank from which the stocking foot of FIG. 4 is formed, and
  • FIGURES 6 and 7 are enlarged fabric diagrams showing fabric structures which can be used at certain parts of the stocking foot.
  • the portion of the stocking shown therein comprises a portion 10 at the bottom of the leg, an upper foot portion 11, a heel portion 12 and a toe end portion 13.
  • the stocking is knitted at least substantially wholly by continuous rotary knitting to form a tubular blank part of which is indicated at 14 in FIGS. 2 and 3, with the toe end part 13 and the under foot part indicated at in FIG. 1 knitted at least partly from a thermoplastic yarn such as nylon or other manmade fibre.
  • the stocking may be knitted throughout entirely from such yarn or with incorporation of thermoplastic yarn only in parts which are to be shaped and set in the processing of the stocking blank.
  • the first alternative is generally preferred.
  • the under-foot part 15 which is of tapering shape as shown widening up to a course line 16, is knitted as an area of fabric having a structure in which the parts of courses included in it are formed of loops which have been knitted closer together than in neighbouring parts of the fabric so as to shorten the length of the fabric walewise.
  • the blank is afterwards placed on a board indicated at 20 in FIG. 1, the toe end drawn to the shape of the board and then set in that shape.
  • the toe end part 13 of the hose is preferably, though not necessarily, reinforced as by the inclusion of splicing yarn along with the main yarn knitted in complete circular courses from the course line 16 to a position beyond the join line 18 which is also a complete course line in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the shortening of the fabric areas 15 and 17 in the direction along the wales may be effected by drawing shorter than normal loops in plain knitted fabric whilst knitting those areas. It is generally preferred however to shorten these fabric areas lengthwise of the wales by knitting them as tuck fabric with tuck stitches spread throughout the area in greater concentration than any tuck stitches incorporated in the upper part of the toe and the instep and leg regions. If these other regions are knitted as mesh fabric they will contain relatively widely spaced tuck stitches and the areas 15 and 17 will be knitted with more closely arranged tuck stitches. On the other hand a less concentration of tuck stitches in the areas 15 and 17 will suffice if the other areas are knitted of plain fabric.
  • the modified structure occurring in the areas 15 and 17 can be secured by varying the action of the needles of the knitting machine by means of an adjustable cam which may be a stitch cam or a clearing cam, the adjustment being made by moving the cam up and down during portions only of the rotations of the needle cylinder the extent of such portions being varied progressively.
  • an adjustable cam which may be a stitch cam or a clearing cam
  • FIG. 2 the tubular blank 14 is shown laid fiat folded along the top and bottom centre lines of the foot and it will be seen that the effect of shortening the fabric along the wales in the areas 15 and 16 is to distort the tubular blank 14 to a somewhat curved form as seen in FIG. 2 so that the course lines 16 and 18 are caused to slant bending in towards the bottom centre line.
  • This is advantageous in assisting shaping of the foot part on the board 20 and it makes possible a closure of the toe completely along a course line at 18 thus enabling the join to be effected by linking if preferred in order to secure a less 7 bulky seam.
  • the join line may be sewn in known manner.
  • the join line 18 is required to be positioned so as to extend from the region of the toe tip indicated at 21 under the foot to a point indicated at 22 just forward of the ball of the foot.
  • Tuck stitch fabric being somewhat compacted in the direction along the wales and less capable of being stretched in that direction along the courses, the advantage is secured that when shaping the tubular blank 14 on the board 20 widthwise stretch of the fabric is readily obtainable where needed in the areas 15 and 17 and at the same time the density of the fabric is maintained sufficiently to ensure good wearing properties.
  • the shaping of the toe end portion is facilitated by the fact that stretch along the wales in the upper part of the toe tending to contract the coursewise length exerts a drag coursewise on the tuck stitch fabric in the areas 15, 17, thereby tending to stretch it widthwise and shorten the length of the wales in the parts 15 and 17 and by so doing draw the fabric close to the board with avoidence of the tendency for bagginess.
  • the shaping of the toe end part is thus greatly facilitated without undue stressing of the distorted fabric so that the toe end portion can be set in a particularly good shape which it will retain permanently with the closure line 18- merging smoothly into the bottom line of the foot behind the join 22.
  • the seam line 18 may terminate forwardly at a point 23 immediately behind the toe tip 21 or actually at the toe tip if preferred.
  • the boundary of the reinforcing extends from above the toe downwardly and rearwardly of the sides to underneath the foot.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 The construction of FIGS. 1 to 3 is shown as having the heel part 12 knitted at least substantially wholly by continuous rotary knitting and the fabric in the area grounded at the line 24 from which the heel is formed is conveniently knitted of tuck stitch fabic which may be produced by intermittent variation of the position of a movable clearing cam in a manner as above mentioned.
  • tuck stitch fabric will have tuck stitches spread through the area in greater concentration than any tuck stitches occuring in the instep part of the fabric so as to promote greater tendency for the heel part to stretch widthwise when placed on the board 26 to form the shape of the heel pouch by distortion from the tubular blank.
  • a narrow area 25 at the bottom of the foot between the heel part 12 and the areas 15, 17, is also formed with a fabric structure which is shortened in a direction along the Wales as compared with the neighbouring fabric at the sides thereof.
  • the part 25 is preferably also constructed of tuck stitch fabric.
  • the blank as shown in FIG. 2 is assumed to be knitted with the heel part 12, the underfoot part 25 and the areas 15 and 17 all knitted of tuck stitch fabric. This while compacting the fabric in the direction along the wales tends to pucker it somewhat widthwise causing slight bulging of the blank as indicated at 26 and 27 in FIG. 2 before the blank is placed on a board.
  • the bulge at 26 contributes to the shaping of the heel while the bulge at 27 is taken up by the fabric areas 15 and 17 being drawn widthwise when the toe is shaped on the board.
  • FIG. 3 the hose blank is shown as laid out fiat with folds at the sides of the blank instead of at the bottom line as in FIG. 2.
  • the heel area 12 is in two similar parts at opposite sides of the marker line 28 and similarly the areas 15 and 17 are in two similar parts on opposite sides of the marker line 29.
  • the marker lines may be formed by a contrast in knitted structure over a small number of wales as compared with the areas 12, 15 and 17.
  • the wales at 28 and 29 may incorporate stitches of normal length; while when the said areas are of tuck stitch fabric the wales at 28 and 29 may be formed of plain fabric.
  • a stocking foot is shown which is knitted from a yarn of nylon or other thermoplastic man-made fibre.
  • a portion of the tubular blank from which the toe end part of the foot is formed is indicated at 30 in FIG. 5 and is knitted to incorporate a shaped area 31 which commences of narrow width at its rearward end 32 and afterwards diverges widthwise on each side along a boundary 33 up to the course line 16 corresponding to the same numbered course line in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • This tapered area 31 is knitted of tuck stitch fabric having tuck stitches in greater concentration than any present in the adjoining parts of the blank.
  • a marker line corresponding to the line 28 of FIG. 3 may be formed on the bottom centre line between complementary areas 31 on each side.
  • the closure line is at 34 and 34a the upper part being on a course line and the lower part 34a extending slantwise of the courses.
  • the area 31 is immediately behind the lower part 34a.
  • the tapered area to the right of line 34a, FIG. 5, may for example be knitted of tuck stitch fabric.
  • To the right of the course line 34 as seen in the figure are knitted courses of cotton waste as indicated at 35.
  • the toe end is closed by a seamed join line on the lines 34 and 34a and surplus material trimmed away beyond that line.
  • the blank is then drawn on to the board 20 and the toe end part as well as the remainder of the blank brought to the shape dictated by the board.
  • the stocking blank is set to that shape by applying heat treatment in known manner.
  • the foot part of the blank is drawn on to the board the wales above the toe end part are stretched lengthwise causing widthwise tensioning and stretching of the fabric at the sides and underneath the toe.
  • the area 31 containing tuck stitch fabric yields widthwise causing further shortening of the fabric along the wales under the foot immediately behind the rear end 22 of the join line 34, 34a, and so pulling firmly against the board the part of the fabric which would otherwise tend to become puckered outwardly from the board.
  • the heel may be formed in any desired manner.
  • it may be formed as a reciprocatorily knitted pouch, or boarded to shape from plain tubular fabric with or without preliminary part shaping by interposition at the heel side of partial courses at intervals between complete courses, or the heel may be boarded to shape from tuck stitch fabric as in FIG. 1.
  • the part of the hose blank between the lines 16 and 34 may be reinforced or not as desired.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate examples of tuck stitch fabric structures suitable for employment in the areas 15 and 17 of FIG. 1 and the area 31 of FIG. 4, and also if desired in the heel area 12 and underfoot area 25 of FIG. 1.
  • a l x 1 tuck stitch fabric in which tuck stitches 37 are formed in alternate wales at alternate courses and normal stitches 38 are formed in intervening wales.
  • Each tuck stitch comprises a held loop 39 and a tuck loop 40.
  • This type of structure may be varied by having the tuck stitches staggered in different courses so that all wales contain tuck stitches, or by having tuck and plain stitches in 2 x 2 formation.
  • FIG. 6 illustrate examples of tuck stitch fabric structures suitable for employment in the areas 15 and 17 of FIG. 1 and the area 31 of FIG. 4, and also if desired in the heel area 12 and underfoot area 25 of FIG. 1.

  • tuck stitch fabric are suitable to provide good widthwise stretch properties whilst compacting the fabric along the wales so that lengthwise stretch is resisted.
  • the heel part of the hose may be formed in 7 any desired manner as mentioned in connection with FIG. 4.
  • the tuck stitch fabric used under the foot part of the hose and if desired in the heel part as above described may be so chosen as to provide also for an increase of density in the fabric for the purpose of reinforcement.
